It has been taking that long due to the root. A lot of calcium build up and she can't get all of it. When she goes to do the perm it will take about 20 mins (so I'm told). I thought she was finished but apparently she will now have to do a post (?) and I have to go back 2 more times. To be sure, I will check to make sure this isn't going to cost me more.
Unnerstand, now. Hope all went well...
